Melimoyu, Stratovolcano in Aysén Region, Chile
The Melimoyu volcano rises to 2,400 meters with two nested calderas measuring 1 kilometer and 8 kilometers in width at its summit.
The first documented observation of Melimoyu was recorded by pilot José de Moraleda y Montero in 1752, followed by Captain Robert FitzRoy's expedition notes.
The name originates from Mapudungun language terms 'meli' and 'moyu', referring to the four distinct peaks resembling natural formations at its summit.
The nearest access point is through Puerto Puyuhuapi, located 40 kilometers southeast of the volcano, with limited transportation infrastructure in the surrounding area.
The volcano maintains an ice cap covering 55 square kilometers, with multiple outlet glaciers that decrease at a rate of 0.61 square kilometers annually.
